+# JSON registration plugin
+
+The `docker-compose.json-registration.yml` compose file is available to run a mock service intended
+to simulate a receiving server to test the JSON registration backend plugin. It contains an endpoint for
+sending json data (`json_plugin`) and testing the connection (`test_connection`).
+
+The `json_plugin` endpoint returns a confirmation message that the data was received, together with the
+received data. The `test_connection` endpoint just returns an 'OK' message.
+
+## docker compose
+
+Start an instance in your local environment from the project root:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.json-registration.yml up -d
+```
+
+This starts a flask application at http://localhost:80/ with the endpoints `json_plugin` and `test_connection`.
